Some restaurants get festive with some streamers and a piñata. Others spray paint a live donkey, tag it with their company name and chain it to their entrance.

That is exactly how Pink Taco in Century City celebrated Cinco de Mayo.

Wonder what marketing dimwit, sloshed off too many overpriced margaritas, came up with the genius idea.

The glaringly pink donkey, standing in 85-degree-plus heat, was sighted by several concerned passersby, who instantly turned to Twitter and Facebook.

An officer gave Pink Taco a cease and desist order, making the restaurant take down the "display" as it didn't have a permit. The officer checked for signs of animal cruelty, and found that the paint was not toxic and adequate food and water were provided.
